Duties:

Navigation Protection Program Officers help make the national transportation system safer through the administration and enforcement of the Canadian Navigable Waters (CNWA) and the new Wrecked, Abandoned and Hazardous Vessels Act (WAHVA).

Their work involves reviewing the impacts of, and issuing approvals for, structures, facilities and marine works in Canadian navigable waters and identifying ways to reduce the navigation impacts of works on other waterway users.

Also, the work conducted by NPP officers under WAHVA supports the Government of Canada's Ocean Protection Plan and protects Canada's coastlines by addressing abandoned and dilapidated vessels and promoting responsible vessel ownership.

Work is a mix of "in-office" and "on-the -water work" conducting inspections, investigations, waterway navigability assessments, navigational hazard assessments, addressing and resolving complaints.

Officers provide technical advice, recommendations and guidance to management and other government departments, industry/business interests, the marine community, and the general public.

Officers have excellent communication skills and work closely with departments/agencies of all levels of government, the marine industry, Indigenous groups, stakeholder organizations, marine users and the general public building strong relationships and delivering great client service.

Work environment:

Diversity and inclusion are foundational values at Transport Canada and are core to who we are.

Transport Canada is made up of people from across Canada - people of different genders, Indigenous peoples, persons with disabilities, members of racialized groups and the 2SLGBTQQIA+ communities.

As a Department, we strive to become an organization where everyone feels that their voice, views, values and life experiences are heard.

Having a department that is both reflective and representative of the demographics we serve enables us to incorporate various perspectives, opinions and experiences to help deliver stronger policies, programs and services to all Canadian.

Transport Canada employs over 6,000 talented and motivated employees working in the Atlantic, Quebec, Ontario, Prairie and Northern, Pacific regions, and at our Ottawa headquarters.

We develop policies and enforce acts and regulations that support transportation efficiency, safety, security, durability, and align with global standards.

Our vision is of a safe, secure, durable, innovative and integrated transportation system that supports trade and economic growth, a cleaner environment and the wellbeing of all Canadians.

Our transportation agenda thrives to adopt new ways of thinking about how we deliver services and oversee the transportation system in Canada.

Intent of the process:

Transport Canada is dedicated to building an inclusive workforce with a diversity of experiences, perspectives and backgrounds that represents Canada now and in the future.

In order to achieve this goal, management will be prioritizing applicants who self-identify as members of one or more of the Employment Equity designated groups (i.e., Indigenous peoples, women, people with disabilities, and members of visible minorities).
